Jishnu Das
PhD Candidate at the University of Agder
Das is a PhD fellow at the University of Agder (UiA). His research is focused on the design of decision support systems for clinical decision making. As a proficient practitioner in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Das is particularly interested in exploring the potential of these technologies in the healthcare domain. He has extensive experience in implementing self-supervised learning techniques and Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to develop predictive models that can assist clinicians in making more informed and accurate decisions.

I am working on a project to design a decision support system for clinical decision-making that integrates decision theory and discrete choice. The aim is to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction by facilitating collaboration and supporting decision making among healthcare professionals. I am using design science research methodology and prototyping process to derive design principles that will be useful for future decision support system development in healthcare.
By incorporating decision theory, I aim to identify the preferences and constraints that influence the choices made by healthcare providers. Discrete choice theory will help to understand and design the knowledge representation and sharing mechanisms within the system. This research takes an eHealth-as-a-Service approach, which may help to improve the Decision Making by offering efficient and effective decision support systems as a service. My work contributes to the existing body of knowledge by developing a decision support system that incorporates decision theory and discrete choice to improve clinical decision making. Through this approach, we can reduce the burden on healthcare professionals and improve patient care by providing timely and accurate decision support.
